Written by Amanda David
In 1970s London, four co-workers approach retirement, each quietly marking time.
As the seasons turn, they go about their daily rituals and routines. Marcia hoards tinned food and drifts into solitude. Letty dreams of something more. Edwin, a widower, finds refuge in the church. Norman rails against modern life. Together, they form a quartet – a fragile compact to get through the days.
The first ever stage adaptation of Barbara Pym’s beloved novel, adapted by Booker Prize-winning author Samantha Harvey (Orbital). A tender portrait of loneliness in a changing world and an ode to ageing, friendship and the strange poetry of everyday life.
